"It was inevitable. It happened so slowly, so imperceptibly, that no one saw it coming. And then... Chaos. Everything I knew, my home, my life, was destroyed right in front of my eyes."
Rasheed had it all. A loving family, caring friends, and was on the road to becoming successful economist. Then, he lost it all. The war broke out. Rasheed and his family were forced from their home. Their status and identity was stripped from them. They were seen as people who had no place in the world, no dreams, no ambition, no hope. With a stroke of luck, and lots of hope, Rasheed was selected from thousands of other refugee youth to attend a highly ranked university abroad. He took this opportunity to study journalism with the intention of going back to his country and making their stories heard. His family however, were not allowed to join him, and Rasheed struggled to get through his studies, make friends and get a job with the constant worry of his family's safety.
But throughout the struggles, throughout the tragedies, throughout the loss, there was always hope. There was always more than tomorrow.

Whispers In Palestine
"We won, but we lost everything." "Then maybe it's time the world learns what surviving really means." Three years after the brutal genocide and the birth of the Palestinian State, Gaza University opens its doors to international students for the first time. Suman Tiwari, an Indian girl, has always admired Palestine from afar. For her, being accepted into Gaza University isn't just education-it's a chance to meet the people she has long respected, and to fulfill her dream of representing Palestine on the global stage of architecture. Zayyan Khalil Al-Fayed, a boy from Gaza, carries the weight of survival and loss. To him, the arrival of international students feels like a cruel irony-where was the world when his people cried for help? How can he trust those who watched in silence? One girl with dreams. One boy with scars. Their worlds collide in a land still healing, where love, grief, and resilience intertwine-and where wounds, though buried, may never truly fade. "Why did you come here?" he asked, eyes burning with unspoken grief. "Because I wanted to meet the strongest people in the world," she whispered.
